We’re not talking about the fact that this event killed the dinosaurs, we just point out that this disaster was accompanied by an abnormally high frequency of volcanic eruptions on the seabed and the ocean floor,” notes Joseph Byrnes (Byrnes Joseph) at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis (USA).

NASA creates an alien submarine
NASA creates an alien submarine NASA, in conjunction with scientists at the University of Washington will develop a submarine for the study of hydrocarbon reservoirs on Titan. Submarine plan to launch a satellite of Saturn in the next 20 years. Simulated conditions on a celestial body, to study the effect of bubbles and low temperature on the machine. About it reported in a press release on the website Phys.org. The researchers mimicked the conditions on Titan in a cryogenic laboratory, because the temperature at the surface of a celestial body is minus 170-180 degrees Celsius. In the test chamber was added a liquid mixture of methane and ethane. It was loaded a small heating cartridge, in order to understand how heat from the submarine will affect its hydrodynamic characteristics. It is believed that the heat generated by the machine, will lead to the appearance of nitrogen bubbles, which may interfere
